Agreed. I like "The Dresden Files" much better. The pretty boy vampire dude is a little irritating. Not sure where it lies, but there's a fine line of difference between David Boreantz's "Angel" and the shampooed-hair look of the dude on "Blood Ties". and like I said before, I've seen so many voodo treatments that it's hard for me not to laugh or groan at every new one I see.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "tdemorsella" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I saw it on the last leg of my trip. It was my first taste of Scifi in The US in More than a year. I hoped for so much, but it seemed a little formulaic, the script was week and the production seemed extremely low budget. I did not have a problem with low bodget productions, but it does not seem like much effort was done to get the most out of the budget they had. I will probably watch it to get my scifi fix, but it it does not improve, I do not know for how Long I will watch.

The main actress was on "Earth: Final Conflict", I believe. and I seem to remember some cable movie about her in a lesbian relationship. Tonight's show was okay. Dealt with voodo, but I've seen so many of those I almost laugh at the people faking the Caribbean or New Orleans accents. > http://www.lifetimetv.com/shows/bloodties/ > After being asked to unravel a bizarre murder case, private investigator Vicki Nelson realizes that uncovering who or what the killer is may be a lot harder than for her typical case. During a stakeout the ex-cop meets Henry Fitzroy, who looks to be an irresistible twentysomething playboy but claims he's actually a 450-year-old vampire! Though she has trouble swallowing his story, Henry has interesting insight into the case, so Vicki teams up with him to nail the killer. But things get complicated when sparks ignite between this unlikely pair, and Vicki's ex-partner and former flame, who immediately distrusts Henry, takes an undue interest in the new partners' undeniably electric connection. > "Blood Ties," based on Tanya Huff's best-selling Blood Books novels, follows Vicki as she finds herself more and more drawn to probing the unexplainable, leading her to walk a line between the supernatural and earthly worlds, torn between the men on either side. > Character: Vicki Nelson > Cop turned private investigator Vicki Nelson has the not-so-easy task of solving supernatural cases with the help of her sexy preternatural partner, Henry, and her assistant, Coreen. > Christina Cox > Best known for her lead role in "F/X: The Series" as well as her performance opposite Vin Diesel in "The Chronicles of Riddick," actress Christina Cox's credits also include "CSI: Miami," "Cold Case" and "Numb3rs."
